26/04 - the Remembrance Day of one of the brightest minds India gave the world - #SrinivasaRamanujan. Today, however I ended up remembering another man - who was born 4 years after Ramanujan died, but whose life was inextricably entwined with Ramanujan’s. (1/n)
I will be taking part in the Golden Globe Race 2022 on the Bayanat. It is a big thing for me and here is why.
On 18 Sep 2018, I was racing in the south Indian Ocean when we were caught in an unusual storm which claimed two of the three boats in its way.
Mine was one of them.
This article exhaustively collects order data and current delivery data for the US, India, EU/UK plus some other countries.

During the course of the test match i interacted with 1000s of fans in social media. Here is my observation of the Indian attitude.
1. We value victory much lesser than the defeat. Everyone talked about what if we lose, but very little was talked about -- what if we win? 1/10
An interesting tale about submarines.
A Soviet submarine ran aground on Sweden's south coast very close to a Swedish naval base in 1981. They claimed it was due to an emergency and navigation errors, but Sweden took it as attempted snooping by the USSR in Swedish waters.

DRDO today successfully demonstrated the Hypersonic air-breathing scramjet technology with the flight test of Hypersonic Technology Demonstration Vehicle (HSTDV).
Raksha Mantri Shri @rajnathsingh has congratulated Team @DRDO_India for this landmark achievement.

If the ratio of death to cured in 'outcome' cases remains proportional throughout, we may end up with a high CFR of around 25% on a day the active cases tend to zero. 5/5
A couple of concerning issues observed –
1) Positive cases are still being reported from people with international travel history. It’s been 3 weeks since the last flight landed. 1/n
Presently if we look at the deaths as a % of cases with outcome, it is a very high 23%. The active cases are only a temporary state which will lead to one of the two outcomes in the coming weeks. 4/n
